A practical approach to transforming extended ER diagrams into the relational model
(Elsevier, 1987-07)
Constructs for the extended ER model are defined and classified as a basis for transformation into the relational model. Transformation rules are developed for the different possible forms of n-ary relationships among ...
An optimal bandwidth allocation strategy for the delivery of compressed prerecorded video
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1997-09)
The transportation of prerecorded, compressed video data without loss of picture quality requires the network and video servers to support large fluctuations in bandwidth requirements. Fully utilizing a client-side buffer ...
Definability by constant-depth polynomial-size circuits
(Elsevier, 1986)
A function of boolean arguments is symmetric if its value depends solely on the number of 1's among its arguments. In the first part of this paper we partially characterize those symmetric functions that can be computed ...
Operating room scheduling data base analysis for scheduling
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1988-12)
A methodology to determine and maintain the schedule times used in a computer-based OR Scheduling System is presented. State-of-the-art equations to be used for different scheduling situations are presented and discussed ...
Editor's note
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997)
We are very excited about this issue of the Journal. It inaugurates a new alliance among the University of Michigan, John Wiley & Sons, and the Society for Human Resource Management. For 34 years, the University of Michigan ...
On the nonconcavity of throughput in certain closed queueing networks
(Elsevier, 1986-12)
Analytic queueing network models are being used to analyze various optimization problems such as server allocation, design and capacity issues, optimal routing, and workload allocation. The mathematical properties of the ...
Numerical solution of nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations by a generalized conjugate gradient method
(Springer-Verlag, 1978-12)
We have studied previously a generalized conjugate gradient method for solving sparse positive-definite systems of linear equations arising from the discretization of elliptic partial-differential boundary-value problems. ...
Canonical realization of general time systems
(Elsevier, 1977)
The canonical realization of general time systems by dynamical systems is discussed employing the notation and definitions of Takahara and Mesarovic. Previous results are extended to the case of causal, but not necessarily ...
A synthetic workload for a distributed real-time system
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-07)
In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a synthetic workload (SW) for a distributed real-time system. A SW is a set of parameterized synthetic or artificial programs which serve as the workload for a ...
